Thanksgiving 2011

Yesterday, we celebrated our first Thanksgiving as a family of 6. It was such a great day! I really have so much to be thankful for - God's been good to me. I am very thankful for my 4 Little Turkeys.



I am also thankful for my husband! It was 11 Thanksgivings ago that he asked me to be his wife.



I am also so thankful that God gave us another happy, healthy baby to celebrate Thanksgiving with.



We spent Thanksgiving morning cooking, cooking, and then doing some more cooking. Evan, Payton, and Addi were great little helpers. Jason made his green bean casserole. After we snapped a few pictures, it was time to go to Nana and Papa's house. Here's Karsyn ready to go.



Our Pastor and his wife joined us for Thanksgiving dinner. I was a little worried that Pastor wasn't going to give Karsyn back to me. He thinks she's a sweetie pie.




We celebrated Turkey Day at Nana and Papa's house. The kids and I started a tradition a few years back of staying the night on Thanksgiving. Papa babysits while Nana and I go Black Friday shopping. Jason works in the retail biz, so he usually has to work over night. I have to say a big thanks to my Dad!




B=Natalie, Billy, Stephen, Kary and Emily all joined us for some feasting.



Here's Ashley and Chad. Ash made one tasty Tom!



After we ate, Evan and Stephen had a lot of fun playing together.



Payton was such a good little helper when we were cooking. She is a good girl!



Addi didn't enjoy herself at first, but then she started having fun.




Karsyn had a great first Thanksgiving. Nothing like spending the day with people you love!
